1
Prepare the Peppers
Wash the fresh hot peppers thoroughly under running water. Remove the stems and slice the peppers in half lengthwise. If you prefer a milder sauce, you can remove the seeds at this stage.
2
Mince the Garlic
Peel the garlic cloves and mince them finely using a knife or a garlic press.
3
Combine Ingredients
In a medium saucepan, combine the sliced peppers, minced garlic, white vinegar, salt, sugar, and olive oil.
4
Cook the Mixture
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a simmer. Allow it to cook for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the peppers are tender.
5
Blend the Sauce
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the mixture cool for a few minutes. Once cooled, transfer the mixture to a blender or food processor. Add the lime juice and blend until smooth.
6
Store the Sauce
Pour the blended sauce into sterilized glass bottles or jars. Seal tightly and store in the refrigerator. The sauce can be used immediately but is best after resting for at least 24 hours.
